01x05 - Lost and Spaced

[bunniefuu]

We interrupt our regularly

scheduled programing

for a special

Electric Company SHOUT-OUT

from Prankster Planet!

Today's honorary Electric

Company members are:

Teja, Peach,

and Braden.

Congratulations!

BOTH:

Thank you!

And now back to...

But wait, we still need you!

Words on Earth

are being reversed!

The stop signs are

turning into pots signs!

It's chaos!

It's madness!

It's my Reverse-a-balls...

no one can stop me!

BOTH:

We will stop you!

Can The Electric Company

stop Francine

and her Reverse-a-balls?

Prankster Planet

Prankster Planet

And now back to our regularly

scheduled programming.

(bubbling sounds)

Step right up folks

and see firsthand

how the perfect brain functions.

Step right up ladies

and gentlemen.

My lab partner, Dax, and I have

created the most spectacular,

scintillating science

project you have ever seen.

But Lisa, we must be crazy.

This looks just like a boring,

old mobile of the solar system.

Well Dax, looks, like

credit card companies,

can be deceiving.

In reality this is

a perfect model of

our actual solar system.

Yes, Lisa, and with the help of

the Shrink-a-nator

a special guest will

be shrunk down with us

in an itty bitty spaceship

and take a tour of

the solar system.

Lisa, do you see our itty

bitty spaceship inside?

Why no Dax, I don't.

Of course not.

That's because the spaceship

is very, very, very small.

Oh right, I forgot.

Do we have any volunteers?

I would love to take a ride

on your little space ship.

Don't you have your brain

project to work on Francine?

Oh, I'm not worried about

my project, are you?

Okay.

Come on up.

Lisa, my Skeleckian

intuition is telling me

this is a big mistake.

It'll be fine.

Just relax and set

the coordinates.

Remember, first prize

is a gift certificate to

the International

House of Noodles.

I do like noodles.

Who doesn't?

Let's go.

Okay, there's gonna be a

ten second delay and then

we're gonna be shrunk down

inside the spaceship.

This looks like a

real winner guys.

Congratulations.

Oh, I forgot my camera,

how silly of me.

Oh no, no, no Franc...

Oh wow, we're tiny.

This is so cool.

Where's Francine?

I don't know.

Let's get ourselves

back to normal size.

Enlarging ourselves

could be a problem.

System failure.

How are we gonna get back?

The judge won't look at our

project if we're not there.

I'd say the greater concern is

that we could spend the rest of

our natural lives

as itty bitty people

in this itty bitty spaceship.

BOTH: Hey you guys!

Wait a minute!

Don't they say in space no

one can hear you scream?

Maybe we should scream louder.

BOTH: Hey you guys!!!



Feel the power

Feel the power

Feel the power, yo

And plug it in!

It's electric

(Electric Company)

Get connected

(Electric Company)

It's electric

(Electric Company)

Get connected

(Electric Company)

The power we perfected

is electrically connected

So use it as directed

and expect to be respected

Just turn it on

and you will see

That you belong

in the Company!

Feel the power

Feel the power

Feel the power, yo

And plug it in!

Plug it in, everybody!

Electric Company

Electric Company

Electric Company...

Electric Company!

Ms. Carruthers,

top o' the morning.

What's up Francine?

Where are Dax and Lisa?

I wanna ride the ship.

I hear that Venus is beautiful

at this time of year.

Hector...

Its terrain is made up

of craters and volcanoes.

Beautiful?

Well, beauty is in

the eye of the beholder

and I hold the opinion

that volcanoes and craters

make a beautiful terrain.

(laughs)

Whoa, check it out.

It's a message from

the ship's computer system.

"Two friends

trapped inside ship."

That's a problem.

We need to bring them

back to full size.

Yeah, but Dax and Lisa are the

only ones that know how to work

the Enlarger and that's the

only way to make them...

BOTH: Larger.

Right.

Okay, let's try to

make contact with them.

Hey, guys, we wanna help you.

How do we work the Enlarger?

Oh! Aah!! I don't think the

ship can take much more of this!

Keith, I think I

have a better idea.

(nervous tapping)

Dax, you need to calm down.

Sorry, but we Skeleckians

get very claustrophobic.

We don't do well

in closed spaces.

How can you be claustrophobic?

You're in spaceships

all the time.

I know and it's horrible.

I have to release the

pressure in my head.

(air hisses)

Whoa, what was that?

Excuse me.

Smells like toast.

Do you find that unpleasant?

No. I like toast.

Let's relax and focus on

something that makes us happy.

Think about the International

House of Noodles.

Noodles bring me happiness.

That's what I'm counting on.

Wow, the Big Dipper.

Is that a kind of noodle?

No, the Big Dipper

is a constellation.

You know when stars form

to make people or things?

See how the Big Dipper

is shaped like a spoon?

Isn't it beautiful and calming?

It kind of looks like

the Skeleckian

constellation of Klizoks.

What's Klizoks?

Klizoks was a Skeleckian

hunter who was trapped in

a very, very small

cave and then,

and then the walls started

closing in on him

and then he couldn't

breathe and then he got,

he got claustrophobic

and then, and then...

(air hisses)

Ah...

Toast.

What was that?

It's a message from the guys.

They're making contact!

Wait!

What are you doing?

I'm writing them back.

I have to make it extra-large

so they can read it.

You better stand back.

(paper rustling)

Where'd that paper come from?

Hey guys. What's up?

They're nowhere.

Okay, Dax and Lisa are trapped

in their science project.

What?

How did that happen?

We don't know.

Wait, wait, wait!

Enlarger broken,

we think Francine did it.

Francine?

Wait, where'd she go?

Hector, let's go find her.

Okay, Keith tell Dax and

Lisa that we're on it

and don't get fancy.

(electronic beeping)

Keith says:

Keith?

I got fancy.

(air hisses)

(sniffing) Anybody smell toast?

Today's show brought to you by

short "a", (aaa),

and short "o", (ah).

It's time for

Electric Sound Off.

I'm your host Hector Ruiz.

Let's spin the wheel.

What sound are we

playing with today?

Short "o".

The "ah"sound.

Let's plug in the "ah"

sound and see it in action.

"Ah"as in rocket.

Or an octopus opera.

Or a blogging frog.

Is hop a short "o"word?

Yes!

Is hope a short "o"word?

No!

That's right.

It has an "o"but it's a

long "o"not a short "o".

And now I need two volunteers

to go head to head

with the "ah"sound.

I'll do it.

I'll do it.

Well, come on up.

(cheering)

Let's see some words.

Make a sentence

using these words.

The person who uses the most

words with the "ah"sound wins.

But be careful, we have hidden

some long "o"words

on the wall, too.

Ready?

BOTH: Ready!

Work on your sentences while we

hear a word from our sponsor.

Do you love having a pet?

Well I am selling the best

pet you'll ever have, a rock.

Look how cute he is

and so obedient, watch.

Sit, stay, good rock.

Hey that rock

doesn't even move.

He's sleeping.

Only $.

What a deal for your

new best friend.

Time's up.

Let's see what

sentences you made.

My sentence is:

Look at that, dog, dropped,

floss, pocket, of and smock,

six "ah"words.

You have your work

cut out for you, Annie.

No problem.

My sentence is:

You've got floss, dropped, from

and smock for four points but

old and moldy have the "oh"

sound not the "ah"sound,

so Marcus wins.

(cheering)

What do I win?

A pot of slop!

Bleh!

I'll see you next time

on Electric Sound Off.

(b*at boxing with "ah"sound)

Knock on that door.

Knock on that magic door.

Knock on that door.

Knock on that magic door.

Knock on that

flat door.

Knock on that flat door.

You have a knack for knocking,

a knack for knocking,

knack for knocking

on that flat door.

You have a knack for knocking,

a knack for knocking,

knack for knocking

on that flat door.

Knock on that door.

Knock, knack.

Knack, knack, knack.

Knack, knock.

Knack, knack.

Knock.

You see before you Mrs. Mapler

a map of my very own brain

and just by thinking certain

thoughts or performing certain

tasks I can show you which part

of the brain controls which of

my many, many talents.

That's fascinating Francine.

For instance, my ballet skills

are located in

this part of the brain.

Uh huh...

And my drawing

skills are located in

this part of the brain.

I see...

And of course my science skills

are located in

this part of the brain.

The chemical name for

salt is sodium chloride.

I love science the most.

Francine, do you expect me to

believe that your brain

is connected to those lights

you keep turning on

and off with your feet?

Oh, no.

No.

This is merely a model to show

the many talent centers

of the perfect brain.

Would you like to see the

juggling center of my brain?

That's alright Francine,

I think I've seen enough.

Please don't go.

You haven't seen

my real project.

This isn't your real project?

Oh no.

This is my extra credit project.

My real project is over there.

Excuse us.

Francine?

A word.

Alright, where's the wire?

I don't know what

you're talking about.

Oh really.

What's this purple wire?

Alright, I admit it.

I took the wire but please

don't tell the judge.

She really believes in me.

We won't tell her if

Dax and Lisa are back

before the science fair's over.

And Keith.

And Keith.

And Keith?

(electronic beeping)

Three people is way too

many people to be in here.

(air hisses)

What is that?

Skeleckian pressure release.

Sorry.

Smells like toast, right?

Yes and I am starving.

Me too.

Another message!

The purple wire's supposed to

be connected to the blue wire.

Francine.

Francine!

Francine stole the purple wire.

No, no, no.

The purple wire needs to be

reconnected to the blue wire.

I'll let them know.

Stand aside boys.

(paper rustling)

Keith: What's up

with the paper?

Yeah, I know.

It's a mystery.

They're all blue.

Francine, which wire

was this hooked up to?

How should I know?

I was in sabotage mode.

Okay, you're just

gonna have to guess.

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.

Any ideas?

Try miny.

Miny it is.

(electronic sounds)

Maybe I should have said meeny.

Yeah...



Today's show brought

to you by "r", (err).

Sometimes you can be so bossy.

My name is Jahresse.

I live in New York City, Harlem

and we're gonna talk about

the letter "r".

Guess what colors

are in the front.

Oh! There it is, purple.

Go Jahresse!

I'm gonna sh**t a powerful sh*t.

Rushing down the court,

he sh**t, scores.

Whooo.

Whoop, whoop!

My hair grows a lot,

so if it grows a lot

you've got to cut it a lot.

I'm rushing down the

court, I run and he scores.

A red court.

A round ball, it's

not red but it's round.

Look! A red car with

some nice rims.

He made it, unbelievable,

really good sh*t.

Really, really good sh*t.

Score.

Powerful sh*t.

I'm going back

through my shortcut,

we arrived to the basketball

court and now we're leaving.

Have to hurry 'cause my

mom's going to worry.







Francine: I would just like

to say, for the record,

that I question the scientific

merit of a science project

that is this dangerous.

It is way too

crowded in here.

(air hisses)

(sniffing) I smell toast.

He's just releasing

some pressure.

Wow, my head feels totally

clear and instantly I had

this amazing idea to get us

back to normal size.

What is it?

Okay, one of the planets has

ammonia gas in its atmosphere.

We can go to that planet

and convert the gas

into an enlarging agent.

Well, wait.

Do you mean that ammonia

gas can make us bigger?

Well, only if we get it through

our Skeleckian Enlarger machine.

What?

Let me explain.

See the air surrounding

these planets?

There's gas in

their atmospheres.

That's right Keith.

Now I remember, the air

surrounding Jupiter

has ammonia in it.

That's the atmosphere

we're looking for.

I knew that.

Okay, Keith, set a course

straight for the planet Jupiter.

We go to that

planet, get the gas,

enlarge ourselves

and get out of here.

Watching planets rushing by,

no time for us to list 'em.

Nervously we navigate

across the solar system.

Chart a course to Jupiter

to reach our destination.

Plot a new position, use that

spoon shaped constellation.

What's this place?

I think we took

the dark way.

Outer space.

It's not your

average parkway.

Oh no.

Cover your ears.

I'm so scared.

Close your eyes.

Not you Dax,

you're driving.

Sorry.

Whoa, whoa.

Are we gonna make it?

Whoa, whoa.

Are we gonna make it?

Whoa, whoa.

Are we gonna...

Smells like toast.

Sorry.

Look out!

Asteroid.

mass of stone and metal.

Must avoid.

Put your foot to the pedal.

Dax, you need...

To drive without colliding?

Not to mention hyper speed.

It's time for bumpy riding.

Whoa!!

Jupiter!

We made it!



ALL: Ohh!

Oh, I was just

about to move on.

Well, I'm ready for that "ride"

through the solar system.

Give us five minutes.

Five minutes it is.

(air hisses)

Oh, whoa baby!

What a ride.

Excuse me.

Can I offer you a hot towel?

Cookie?

Excellent touch and I like how

you're taking care of your

fellow classmates, Francine.

I love to give.

Dax and Lisa, you have out done

yourselves with this project.

Congratulations,

you've won first prize!

Here is a gift certificate to

the International

House of Noodles.

Noodles give me happiness.

Yes. Yes.

And I have another award

to a student who has shown

excellent citizenship.

Congratulations...

Francine.

Thank you so much judge but

really this award belongs to my

fellow students, without whom I

wouldn't have anyone to help.

This might go to her head.

You think?!

You like me.

You really, really, really,

really, really, really,

really do.

Makes so much sense.

It smells like success in here.

Oh wait, that's me.

On Prankster Planet

no one can stop me.

Will you even dare to

try Electric Company?

(sinister laughter)

Prankster Planet

Prankster Planet

The Reverse-a-ball's reversing

all the words on Earth

So it's Jessica and Marcus

to the rescue

Francine has eight machines

You must stop them all

To save the world

from the Reverse-a-balls

Prankster Planet

Prankster Planet

Meanwhile in

Francine's studio...

Hello loyal fans.

ALL: Francine. Francine.

Francine. Francine.

You're too kind.

Let's take a look at

three examples of my

Reverse-a-balls on Earth.

Reverse-a-ball one.

Where are Dax and Lisa?

Reverse-a-ball two.

Excuse us.

Francine, a word.

Reverse-a-ball three.

You like me.

You really, really, really,

really, really, really,

really do.

That's my favorite.

Let's check on the progress

of our little "heroes,"

Jessica and Marcus, as they

try to stop my Reverse-a-balls.

(laughing) As if.

Okay we have to move

at the same time.

On the count of three.

One, two, three.

(screaming)

I was gonna say

one, two, three, go.

Well it's not looking good

for The Electric Company.

So why don't I make it worse?

Hey, it's survey time.

The survey question is:

Time to vote!

Francine: You can vote for

grumpy mosquitoes,

excited mice or

confused grasshoppers.

I'm going to show the results of

the survey using a circle graph.

Graphmania!

It's time to...

ALL: Vote. Vote. Vote. Vote.

And now the part where we have

the results of the survey time.

What did you vote for?

This section of the circle graph

shows that of you voted for

grumpy mosquitoes, this section

shows that five of you voted for

excited mice and this section

shows that of you voted for

confused grasshoppers.

Grumpy mosquitoes has

the biggest section

so that one wins.

The results of the survey show

that you want grumpy mosquitoes

to chase Jessica

and Marcus time.

Francine: Mosquito torpedo!

What's that?

(both scream)

Wait.

Why are they chasing us

when... the... um Marcus?

When the ah...

carnival is in town.

You think they'll

stay distracted?

Yeah I think so.

Francine: Looks like

I'm going to have to

fire some mosquitoes later.

There's the lever!

Time for my Prankster Planet,

Prankster Rules

Emergency Button.

Good luck stopping

the Reverse-a-balls now.

(laughs)

BOTH: Hey you guys!

Go to pbskidsgo.org and

stop the Reverse-a-balls.

The Electric Company and

the people of Earth need you.

We interrupt our regularly

scheduled programing for

a special Electric Company

SHOUT-OUT

from Prankster Planet.

Today's honorary Electric

Company members are:

Skylas, Alyssa and BigRyan.

Congratulations!

BOTH: Thank you.

You can be an honorary member

of the Electric Company too.

Go online and stop

Francine's Reverse-a-balls!

I have a better idea.

...I have a better idea.

Cut!

Tell Dax and Lisa

that we're on it

and don't get... (Keith sneezes)

sneezey on my finger.

Cut.

Yo, what's up guys?

Have you checked out

The Electric Company online?

Check out the games,

clips and tons more.

The best part is there's new

stuff added all the time.

You don't believe me?

Go check it out

for yourself. Go!
